Chapter 2 The Doctor
"Haha...haha...haha..."

Leaning against the solid iron gate, holding the assault rifle in his arms, the young man's complexion was already extremely pale, but even so, he still forced himself to calm down and listen to the voices coming from the tunnel.Beside him, several other fully armed companions also had serious faces at the moment. They held guns in their hands and looked around vigilantly.

"Beth, how is the captain?"

The young man lowered his voice and asked, while carefully looking outside through the small hole in the iron door.And not far behind him, I saw a young girl trying to treat the wound of a man covered in blood.It's just that the girl's way of treating the wound is different from what ordinary people think. She stretched out her hand and placed it on the man's bloody wound, and then saw a faint green light light up. Under the cover of this green light, he gradually healed.This magical scene did not attract the attention of others at all, and after the girl withdrew her hand, her complexion turned pale again.

"The captain's blood has stopped, but I have no better way. If I want to save him, I have to take him back to the town...Only there can be better treatment, and all I can do is these ……”

Beth looked at the man in front of her with a mournful face.

"I'm sorry, Captain, it's all my fault, if it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't..."

"Hehe, don't cry, silly boy..."

Hearing the girl's cry, the man opened his eyes and smiled with difficulty. He raised his right hand and stroked the girl's small head.

"You are the only person in the town who has awakened the authority of the healing field. As long as you are still alive, our chances of surviving will be higher. And if you die here, then we will become a pile of carrion here." It's just a matter of time... At least for now, I'm still alive, right?"

"But, my authority is only one level..."

Having said this, Beth bit her lips unwillingly.She only has the lowest level of network authority, and her healing ability is relatively weak. For now, being able to stop the wound from bleeding is already the limit of what she can do within her authority.

The human beings who survived the "catastrophe" have abilities similar to those in the "system text". They found that there is an additional "network system" in their brains. Through this "network system", these people can communicate with each other. In the same way as on the Internet, information exchange and trade are carried out.In the world after the cataclysm, telephones and messaging devices are meaningless, because anyone who wants to can stand in front of each other and add each other as friends.After that, even if they are thousands of miles away, they will be able to communicate with each other.It's as if they are not in the real world, but in the virtual network world.

And some of them will awaken the system authority, so as to obtain the power similar to the magic or super power in the novel.The girl in front of her was obviously one of these lucky ones.

"Permissions will always be raised, don't worry, you are still young, take your time. I only got Level 30 permissions when I was 20 years old, and now I have been upgraded to Level [-]. You are not yet [-] years old, as long as you can go back alive, then you You will definitely be able to rise to level three faster than me. So, don't cry... Let others see it, it will have a bad impact..."

Although the man's joke was very clumsy, the girl nodded, then reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.And at this moment, suddenly, the young man who was hiding in front of the door and looking out lowered his voice and spoke.

"Be careful! Something is wrong!"

Hearing his words, everyone who was slightly relaxed suddenly tensed up. They raised their weapons and looked around vigilantly.Even the crying girl just now picked up the pistol beside her at this moment, and made a well-trained gesture of aiming and shooting.These are all the imprints given to them by this era. In this era, whether to live or die is no longer just a simple philosophical proposition.Fighting is also a part of their lives.

"boom!!"

However, before everyone was ready, suddenly, with a loud bang, the heavy iron gate dented inward, and then fell down with a bang.Before the young man hiding behind the iron gate even had time to react, he screamed and was crushed under the fallen iron gate. Spray tearing, smearing a shocking bright red on the ground.

"Do not----!!"

Looking at the scene in front of them, the eyes of the others turned red. They raised the guns in their hands and pulled the trigger.Accompanied by a series of gunshots, countless ammunition flew towards the door.Such firepower is enough to wipe out most of the intruders.

But alas, not all.

"Roar……………"

The smoke cleared, and a huge, pitch-black figure appeared in front of everyone.It was completely black, and its two arms that were almost as long as its body grabbed the door frame.The long and narrow, jackal-like head penetrated into it, and the scarlet eyes exuded a strange light, staring at the prey in front of it.Viscous saliva dripped from the gap between its sharp and hard teeth, exuding a disgusting stench.The previous round of storm-like bombardment did not cause any damage to the monster in front of it at all, and there was not even a single scar left on its rubber-like hard skin.

"Damn..."

Looking at the monster in front of them, everyone looked pale and didn't know what to do.Because what they are facing is the most terrifying monster in the world and also their greatest enemy.

But now, they are helpless.

"Roar……………"

Looking at the prey in front of it, the monster let out a low growl again, it opened its mouth, and its two scarlet eyes kept looking around, trying to find its prey, but just when the monster was about to launch an attack, suddenly, It seemed to have noticed something, suddenly raised its head, and looked towards the rear.

At the same time, Beth and the others also widened their eyes in astonishment.Because at this moment, they suddenly heard a voice that should not have appeared here.

It was the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps that appeared in the tunnel were very steady and slow, not like running away or chasing, but rather like strolling in the garden.But this made everyone more cautious. This kind of voice should not appear here. This is a battlefield. They know very well that there are still a few energy-absorbing monsters wandering here wantonly outside, and those monsters are almost everything. The natural enemy of life.Energy absorbing monsters themselves would not make such regular footsteps. Although they are monsters transformed from humans like zombies, they are far from each other.If zombies can still be called walking dead, then energy absorbers are just monsters in human skin.

So, what is the sound of footsteps outside?

The more unknown, the more frightening.As the footsteps got closer and closer, everyone's breathing began to become more rapid. People held guns tightly in their hands and listened to the footsteps. For some reason, everyone felt a fear of suffocation. It seems that this is some kind of ominous omen.They had an inexplicable feeling, as if the owner of the footsteps was more dangerous than the monster right in front of them.

"clatter………"

At this moment, suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and the next moment, a calm and gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears without warning.

"So it's hiding here..."

"Roar!!!"

At the same time as this sound appeared, the monster that had already tensed its body roared angrily, then it turned around and rushed behind itself without hesitation.But alas, it was too late.

The monster's body was still flying in the air, but its head and neck had been split apart. The silver-white blade passed through the hard skin that even bullets couldn't penetrate without hesitation, penetrating the skin with precision like a machine. , cut the trachea, cut off the spine.But this is not the end, on the contrary, the moment the blade detached from the monster's body, it seemed to turn into a silver snake, quickly circling around the monster's huge body.

And when the monster's body fell to the ground again, it was completely divided.It was like cattle and sheep used for slaughter. Its body, limbs, and everything were cut open, and the strong smell of blood came out, which was disgusting.

"It's really hasty. It's not in line with the etiquette of civilized people to do it without saying a word."

With these words, a figure appeared in front of them.

It was a young man, who seemed to be about 20 years old, wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, most of his face was covered by the brim of the hat.Unlike most people in this era, this young man was very neatly dressed. He didn't even wear the leather armor that people often wear in this era, or the modified steel armor.Instead, he was only wearing a black suit and even a bright red tie over a trench coat of the same color.In the man's left hand, he was carrying a jet black suitcase.A head of thick black hair hanging down, matched with that handsome face, is impressive.It's just that unlike most people here, the man in front of him looks more like a yellow man.

What happened?who is he?

Looking at the scene in front of them, the people who escaped from death were completely stunned, but even so, they still clenched the weapons in their hands and aimed at the target that suddenly appeared in front of them.Their expressions were tense and full of fear. After all, no one knew what this man who appeared here out of nowhere wanted to do.

However, Fei Lun didn't care about their thoughts, he just lowered the brim of his hat and glanced at the people in front of him.From their attire, it can be seen that most of these people are fighters who have experienced battles.Even the young man who was so frightened and fell to the ground just now was holding the gun tightly in his hand, and he didn't intend to let go.And from their uniform formation, it can be seen that although the incident happened suddenly, these soldiers still possess good military qualities.

No wonder the old man was so anxious to get them back. This kind of quality is enough to protect the safety of a second-tier town from most external threats.

"Are you the scavenger team?"

Although Fei Lun had confirmed their identities through data comparison from the information column in front of him, he still asked.After hearing Fei Lun's inquiry, these people became even more nervous, especially the three men who raised their guns and aimed at Fei Lun, they were already ready to fire.But soon, Fei Lun saw a girl who was standing behind the crowd approaching, and stretched out her hand to stop their further actions.This young girl looks quiet and delicate, although she is not particularly beautiful, she also has a certain temperament.Logically speaking, women with such looks rarely appear outside the gathering place.Either they were captives and slaves, or they had special abilities.However, judging from the clean and tidy uniform worn by the girl in front of her, the other party should belong to the latter.

At this moment, the girl also spoke.

"We are members of the Scavenger Squad, may I ask if you are..."

Hearing the girl's question, Fei Lun smiled slightly before answering.

"You can call me... 'Doctor'."
